✅ How to make yogurt in the Instant Pot✅
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook time: 8 hours + 4-6 hours chill time
Yield: 8 cups homemade yogurt
INGREDIENTS
52 ounces ultra filtered ultra pasteurized Fairlife whole milk
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk (optional)
2 tablespoons plain yogurt (containing live active cultures)
INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure the Instant Pot insert is clean and free of residue.
Pour about half of the milk into the Instant Pot insert. Add the sweetened condensed milk and whisk until combined. You can tell it is combined well enough when you tilt the pot and don't see any sweetened condensed milk on the bottom of the pot. Pour in the remaining milk and whisk to combine. Whisk in the yogurt, until smooth.
Place pot insert into the Instant Pot, if it isn't already, and cover with a glass or silicone lid or plate. Does not need to seal. Press the yogurt button and verify it is set on normal pressure for 8 hours. Instant Pot will count up to the 8-hour mark, then beep and display "YOGT" when it is done.
When done, remove the lid and remove the insert pot. Cover pot and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours. Do not stir yogurt until it is fully chilled.
NOTES
Store Instant Pot yogurt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.

Iraqi here: My whole life been making yogurt with whatever milk we get out hands on. We just boil it first, takes 20 min to boil. Then wait for it to cool down a bit, that’s another 20 min to get it down to warm temp, then add the yogurt you want and cover it for 12 hours. You’ll have amazing yogurt that way. We only make plain, if we want it sweet we some dates and honey in the cup at serving

Let it set for another 8-10 hours. So basically: heat -> warm -> inoculate -> incubate -> set

I personally use regular pasturised full cream milk. (2% has more sugar and more carbs than regular milk) goes in my instapot at room temp. Starter at room temp also. Choose the yogurt setting, make sure the lid is on vent then go. That's it. No special milk, no pre boiling. The instapot does all the work for you couldn't be easier. Don't make it harder or more complicated than it needs to be. Run for 10 hours if you want thicker yogurt.

Was getting frustrated and found you this morning. I'll head out later to get the ultra pasteurized milk. I can't wait to try it. I've done it before by boiling on the stove, then sitting in a cooler all night, but it's always been runny--still tasted good, but I want it thicker so I can't wait to try this.

I'm fairly new to using an Instant Pot and love to make yogurt. Your video is fabulous! (And, so is your fabulous hair--great shine!). Just for those out there with the Ultra Mini 3 Qt, its yogurt setting doesn't have "Normal" temperature or "Medium" as I believe the larger Ultra models have--only "High," "Low," and "Custom." I don't recall, now, which temperature setting is highlighted when the yogurt button is selected, but I chose "Custom" and set it for 110 degrees Fahrenheit. I read "Medium" temperature of 108-112 degrees Fahrenheit works for yogurt, so the average seemed like a good starting point. So far, so good. Our grocery carries Fairlife milk, so I haven't bothered to try the more tedious, "boil" method.

I want to start making it again because I loved the taste and how good it was for my gut. I saw you can make it in an instapot and so I watched a few videos on how to. 1 person definitely is putting people at risk to get sick because they didn’t explain the need for ultra pasteurized milk when doing this straight from fridge method. Another video showed someone doing the original technique of boiling it first. I was confused because the 2 methods were so different and didn’t make sense to me how both could work. So Thank you for explaining the types of milk and sweeteners that can be used in this method and why it is safe to do it this way with specific ultra pasteurized products.

I followed your recipe using the SCM and loved the flavor! I need to figure out what I need to change next time, though, because my yogurt was not as creamy as yours at the end of the 8 hrs. There was visible whey at the perimeter and a tiny pool at the center top. I did strain it to thicken it, but think maybe I need to change something on the front end of this process to make it thicker from the start. Perhaps a more accurate measurement of 5% Fage or possibly incubate longer?

Hi Frugal girl, I made my very first batch of yogurt ever using your original frugal girl yogurt recipe that I found online using a cooler and hot water to Incubate it and my yogurt has turned out perfect every time! However, as I’m sure you remember what a pain in the butt it was to heat up the water to the right temperature put it in the cooler with your cups and then empty the cooler when it was all done. So many years ago I started using my instant pot instead of the cooler to incubate my portioned cups and it’s always turned out wonderful. My question for you is, if I want to make my yogurt in the traditional way where I have to heat it up and cool down before adding my starter, can I add the can of sweetened condensed milk at the time I add my starter culture?

I JUST purchased my Instant Pot at the beginning of November. The MAIN reason I really wanted one, the yogurt function!! I've tried several times to make it, EPIC FAIL!!! I was on KZfaq night & day just watching videos on how to make yogurt in the Instant Pot. The 6 qt went on sale at Wal-Mart, I snatched one up. Since I've had it, I've made yogurt 3 times!! It's sooooo good! I use same 3 ingredient recipe! I also add a few drops of vanilla extract to the mixture. I like the Fairlife Whole Ultra-Filtered/Pasteurized Lactose Free Milk. Last week when I made it, I only used half the can of condensed milk and of course the yogurt culture. The first time I made it, I actually used a whole container of Oui Vanilla Yogurt & it turned out fine. It was thick & creamy & once I gave it a lil stir, it smoothed out a lil more. For me, the 8 hours is perfect & it's just the right amount of tang. I top it with a lil honey or agave, blueberries & granola. I'll NEVER buy yogurt again! I guess I need to make something other than yogurt in my pot 😂😂

Yes, they work great. Store yogurt usually only has three strains. With the capsules you can get 10 to 15. Much better I think.@@AriannaGi

How many jars that will fit will just depend on which jars you use. You can stack them though! Just make sure you can still cover the pot so the heat will stay inside the instant pot so the yogurt can incubate.

I sweeten my whole milk mixture PRIOR to culturing with Organic Pyrue as well as using an alcohol free pure organic vanilla extract. I purchase my culture because I found a super mild culture (ABY-2C) that totally eliminates the tang. I use my crock pot to slowly heat my milk to 180, then cool to 115 add everything and stir. I place the crock liner in my oven with light on overnight. Then I chill it a couple of days. It tastes like whipped cream. I make 3 batches a month for my sisters, niece, and my daughter. No hard work just time.

If you strain your yogurt and also bake bread, you can use the whey in your bread dough as all or part of your liquid. I do this with my kefir and I will make yogurt in my instant pot for the first time, I too, have had an instant pot for several years and never used the yogurt setting😁

@maryacott1473 3 жыл бұрын

Question for you: I have been making yogurt using your method (or very similar) for quite a while and mine does not turn out as thick as yours looks here, but I strain it so it becomes thicker and "Greek" yogurt and it's just great, I love it. Well, I just made some that did not thicken up at all! I used a gallon of 2% milk and about a cup of plain yogurt. It smells and tastes like yogurt but it did not actually "become" yogurt. I started to strain it through cheesecloth and a large colander like I always do, but it was just going to mostly run right through it, so I poured it back into the instant pot and decided to try again. I pushed the yogurt setting and waited another 8 hours .... result - exactly the same! Not knowing if I was changing the overall make-up or protein structure, but thinking I've got nothing to lose, I tried a 3rd time and back in the pot it went for ANOTHER 8 hours. When done, it had been in the "incubation" pot for a total of 24 hours! Alas, no change and still didn't look like the yogurt I normally achieve. SO.... because I have recently learned how to make ricotta cheese from milk and/or cream, I decided to see if I could turn this failed batch into ricotta cheese. I put it in a regular large stovetop pot, heated it to 200 as ricotta instructions say, removed from heat, added the proper amount of lemon juice and salt, gently stirred, waited, and still no separation of curds and whey happened as it should. It basically looks like heavy cream. So now I am like .... Huh! What is going on and what did I do wrong? Could it be the milk? I googled and learned that if my milk was UHT pasteurized it probably won't work. The milk I used came from Costco - it's Kirkland Signature 2% pasteurized milk. It does not say UHT but I figure they probably don't have to state if they are using that process. Could that be why it didn't work? And of course, now I am wondering what can I do with this creamy sour tasting milk? It doesn't taste bad but it's not yogurt, not ricotta and not even sour cream! Can I somehow turn it into sour cream or is there anything you would suggest besides dumping it? Thanks for any advice and sorry this got so long! :)

@empoweredcooks 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mary - you are right, you MUST use ultra pasteurized milk (ultra filtered, whole, will make it even thicker). If I were you, I'd toss it. Not sure what has been going on with the bacteria growth and I'd be worried that it's now full of the wrong kind of bacteria since you've been trying to get it to do the right thing for the last 24+ hours. Consider it a good lesson learned and toss it. Sorry!

@corrinefarrell6726 3 жыл бұрын

Add 1/4 cup of full fat or skim milk powder, this will help to thicken your yoghurt.

@tamz0309 2 жыл бұрын

It’s because regular pasteurized milk needs to be heated to 180 first then let it sit till the milk comes back down to room temp. Ultra pasteurized comes with that process already done. Also leaving sugar sit in the yogurt can kill the live active cultures over time. So you are better off adding it as you serve it. I also incubate my yogurt for 24 hours to make it lactose free. Hope this helps
